We have 9 members, and 80% constitute a quorum (ie we need 8 votes; 7 is insufficient).
On the other hand 5 'Yesses' cannot be defeated, so wins.

Are these rules inconsistent? See https://wiki.blackboxframework.org/inde ... tle=Center.

So:
1 - This topic needs more responses
2 - Maybe we need to revise / clarify our rules?

We have 9 members, and 80% constitute a quorum

I understood the quorum to be 70%:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20

However, if the subject is up for discussion again I propose that the quorum should be:

(Number of members DIV 2) + 1

i.e. currently 5.

The intention of a quorum is simply to avoid decisions being made by a minority in situations caused by loss of contact, non-availability etc. This formula guarantees a majority of members has voted and avoids having a quorum with a fractional part of a person as we have now.

I support Chris' suggestion.

Vote passed.
I have locked this topic, but copied the unfinished quorum discussion to a new thread.
